The others turned, noticing the angry queen. They gasped with Jessica running before the queen kicked Katie over a tree shaped like a goalie.
Tommy the wombat: It's good!
Jane: What do you think you're doing?
Tommy the wombat: Oh, you guys with worlds are in trouble!
He ran off with the kangaroo going eye to eye with the elephant.
Jane: Have you forgotten what we've discussed?
Horton: Oh no, I'm an elephant and an elephant never forget, it's a curse really!
Miss Calamity: Uh oh.
Miss Scary: Here we go.
Miss Naughty: Should be interesting.
Horton sat down, looking at the kangaroos and the frowning Yertle.
Horton: I remember, I was on my head and you said "hmm" and I looked up and you said, "what are you doing?" , and I said the thing about the speck, then you pulled my ears and you poked me in the forehead...
Jane: (angrily) Horton!
Horton: Well you did.
Jane: Give me that clover, Horton, now!
The elephant looked worried.
Morton the Elephant Bird: Poor dad never stood up to her in his life. He's in for it now...
Horton, however, only frowned, cradling the clover.
Horton: No.
The others looked surprised with Yertle frowning and Jane becoming angry. Unknown to them, some familiar Wickershams and foes watched the scene.
Jane: (gasps) No?
Rudy gulped a bit.
Horton: (small voice) Yeah?
Miss Sunshine: Oh my.
Swiper: If he's not gonna hand it over, neither will I!
Mr. Happy: Swiper, please!
Jane: (glances) Are you sure you wanna fight this fight, Horton?
Horton backed away in fear as the kangaroo went closer to him.
Jane: Because I promise you that it will get very ugly, very fast! And you need to ask yourself: Do I really want to put myself through all of this for a clover?
Horton finally backed to his son and friend while the Wickershams came out of hiding, smirking at the site with some familiar figures coming out.
Max: Great, those guys again! It figures!
Kate: Miss Naughty? What did you do?
Miss Naughty: I gave everyone tickets to a lost jungle! (giggles) Sometimes, I just can't help myself!
Mr. Rude: (pauses) Who wants to hit her before she makes me gag?
Miss Naughty: Eep!
Jane: Take it from me, Horton and buddies, you don't. (puts her arm out) So hand it over!
Mr. Scatterbrain: Here go you!
She was given a plate of two familiar objects.
Jane: (annoyed) What is this?
She was shoved to Mr. Grumpy.
Mr. Scatterbrain: Ha-ha-ha! Mr. Grumpy, try not to look so blue. So would you, could you, with the Sour Kangaroo?
Jane: Could he what?
Mr. Tickle: Get Mr. Grumpy to eat Green Eggs and Ham, ma'am.
Jane: Ugh, that is disgusting!
Mr. Grumpy: No kidding. And no, Mr. Scatterbrain, I would not, could not, with the Sour Kangaroo!
Max: (to the foes) Trust me, he'll learn by the end of the arc.
Jane: (sweatdrops) Not what I was asking for.
Mr. Scatterbrain: Could you use a hamster?
Jane: No.
Mr. Scatterbrain: How about a banjo? A shrub shaped like a banjo? A plush toy?
Jane: Oh for heaven's sake, no!
Just then, Swiper yelped as a familiar blade was pointed by the rat.
Ratigan: I suggest you better do as she says.
Paul: Yeah.
Yertle: Hopefully, this nuisance will be over with.
Swiper: Oh crud, not you guys again!
Horton, however, motioned the trunk holding the clover away from the kangaroo's paws and Paul's clutches. Finally, the two turned away from her, looking back.
Horton: No! I can't give it to you!
Swiper: (looks at the clover) There are people in this speck. Granted, they're very small people, but a person's a person, no matter how small.
Bobcat: People on the speck!? Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Kate: Okay, now you're just being freaky.
Rudy only smiled. Jane and Yertle, however, frowned, with herself covering Rudy's ears.
Mr. Tickle: (notices) Uh oh, look!
Sarah: Eep!
Jane: (glares) You just crossed the line, Horton and Swiper. And I'm gonna make you pay.
Mina Mongoose: Oh dear!
Miss Naughty: Look here, lady! (blocking them) If you hurt my friends, you'll have to go through me to get to them! I am an expert on fighting as well as being naughty, so I can assure you it will get ugly.
Mr. Rude: Do it, kill her already!
Max: Yeah, do it!
She only glared in annoyance.
Mr. Rude: What?
Just then, the elephant and fox gulped, noticing the Wickershams approaching to them. Both Horton and Swiper chuckled a bit, backing away before they tripped, then tiptoed away quickly.
Swiper: Guys!
The heroes quickly followed.
Jane: (to the foes) That Horton, Swiper, and friends are a menace, they have those kids using their imagination. It's sick.
Digit: RUN!
They began running, though Swiper tripped a little.
Swiper: Oh man!
Morton the Elephant Bird: Swiper!
He was helped up by Horton as the heroes began leaving.
Fidget: (concerned) They mentioned something about Mount Nool...how far is it?
Jane: It's pretty far. It could take them days to get there unless they're fast enough.
Black Mamba: Ssso how will they make it there?
Yertle: First of all...they would have to go through the beach.
He showed a map to the newcomers.
Yertle: Secondly, they would have to cross the old bridge, which is pretty old, then get through the rest of the jungle to get to where I think they're going...to Mount Nool.
Jane: Why there?
Yertle: That's where nothing is disturbed within that mountain.
Hyper: (pauses) Sooooo, we're destroying a clover and speck to prove a point?
Paul: Ugh, lame!
Wacky: Tell me about it.
Jane: And I suppose you people could do better.
Yertle: Perhaps I could suggest some minions to help out.
They were dropped here some time ago.
He then whistled as some certain foes came out.
Wacky: (gasps) No way! The Mad Thespian! Hurtsod! Lactose! Evil Dangly Deever! The Uglion guy! And-
Fish in Body: Correct! Mack Salmon!
Kate: I heard of you guys! I thought those Freelance Police did away with you like they did with the Soda Poppers!
Mack Salmon: It'll take more than those two and the Rubber Pants Commandos to do away with us.
Mad Thespian: The turtle had found us some time after his fall of being king and we've sort of lived here for a while.
Hurtsod: We still couldn't forget and when we saw those Freelance Police show up, we decided to take them down!
Ratigan: You shall need some help. And as leader of this group, we humbly accept. Of course...if Paul disagrees-
Paul: Sure, why not? Hopefully they could prove themselves powerful.
Kate: I know what I'll be doing once we find them: Punch Miss Naughty's lights out!
Gothika: Come on, let us help in torturing her!
Jane: (concerned) And you people are sure you can help get rid of the speck?
